Reasons and Treatment for Head Shaking After Nasal Sinusitis Treatment with Intravenous Fluids

Question

After intravenous treatment, the child still shakes their head occasionally. Could this be related to the neurological system? Can an EEG detect any issues?

Answer

An EEG can show clear signs of encephalitis. If a child shakes their head involuntarily after a cold and the EEG is normal, it is usually expected to improve on its own over time. There are similar cases with experience where children shake their heads involuntarily after a cold but recover naturally after a period.
